This morning, I started making a block for my 2019-2020 fabric journal. When I finished with the piece, I decided to make it a quilted block to hang on the door to my studio.
I started out by painting some canvas with fabric paint, markers, and crayons. I cut a flamingo from pink fabric. Then, I thread sketched, using different threads. I am having trouble with the stitches when I thread sketch. I have adjusted the tension, but I think the trouble stems from how I stitch. I find myself pulling the cloth, instead of gently gliding it along. This is an area where I need to consult with someone who knows what they are doing. Any suggestions, hints, and feedback is welcomed. Even with the uneven stitching, I am happy with the results.
For my May entry of the fabric journal, I found a denim block that I had pieced and started embroidering a few months ago. I cut out some flamingos and outlined stitched them onto the denim. I need to add some more embroidery and label it for the month of May.
It has definitely been a Flamingo-Kind-of-Day.
You do such beautiful work! You inspire me!!
Thank you, Jeanne!
I like it, and the pink looks so vibrant!
Thanks. I had some pink scraps that already had steam -a- seam on it.
Just love your flamingos, in the pink!
Thank you 😊
Love the Flamingo!. Currently working on place mats with flamingo fabric. SO happy and cheerful!
Can’t wait to see them!
